Hello Ming Huang. I also applied to UW-CFRM and UMN-MFM. I saw that you posted that you are pending on UMN.
Did you get an email that you are on a wait list or just you are still waiting?
Because I really want to get into UMN so just wonder about it...
I hope we can get a good notification from both schools.

Best,
Nathaniel

At last he asked me what my first choice is and how much chance I will come if I get enrolled. Professor Martin is pretty nice and we talked about 45 minutes. He also talked a lot about their curriculum, career service and work opportunities in the west coast.

Hope this is helpful for you! Good luck!

4. For a joint PDF of x and y, how to find marginal density. If f (x) and f (y) are independent, what's their joint density function. How to find the covariance, what does it mean that an estimator is unbiased.
5. For programming, he didn't ask me questions and just said they will use both C++ and R.

Questions I remembered are:
1. Find the derivative of some x*log (x), cos (x^2), pretty straight forward
2. When you take partial derivative with a vector, the result is a scalar or vector
3. Some concepts about linear algebra, like what is the definition of singular matrix, when a matrix is invertible,

First, he asked some general questions about my interest, resume and courses in the transcript.
In the technical part, he asked many concepts about math/probability/stats and programming.

Hi Ming,
I noticed you were asking for the interview experience on the UW CFRM program. I had the interview with Professor Doug Martin on Wed and got admitted yesterday.
